I say if I get two years out of it I'll be happy. It looks a big beast of a printer so not sure where I will fit it.
I bought a copier off of Ebay for the local football club about 6 years ago for producing the programmes in house. I said if it lasted a year it would still work out cheaper for doing the programmes compared to outsourcing to a printing company. That one cost £550. It lasted the two years that I remained at the club and I think it may have lasted a third year as they were still phoning me up a year later asking where to buy the toner from. I hope I get the same out this one.
I was just worried about the price. £275 does seem VERY cheap for this printer. I got scared of the 5 people watching it and jumped in before one of them did. (It was "buy it now" not an auction).
EDITED : To open link in new window rather than leaving this site.
2nd EDIT : With each new client I get I tend to buy some piece of equipment to use in my business. As a kind of reward.

"Sexy printer" - oh no, I can see the headline in the local newspaper already.
I had it on "watch" for a couple of days but the number of other "watchers" was increasing. I didn't want to risk buying it earlier and then they try and deliver it on Friday. That's the day I have to take mother to the hospital. The actual appointment is routine - it is the getting there and back that is the problem. She sometimes "can't move" getting into the car. Last time I was ok as my older brother came along as well. This time it's just me. It will be a long day as I usually wait at their house on Thursday and Friday until they are both tucked up in bed. (Getting old is like childhood in reverse). So I'll be away from 8:30pm till 11pm (I tend to work till about 9:15pm on the Thursday/Friday then go up to their house). Starting to give my life story here.
My purchases are timed so they are delivered on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. I've got 20% off everything at Viking just now so will wait until the weekend before I top up on stationery.
The worry isn't so much the non delivery from a dodgy Ebayer - more the delivery of a dodgy printer.

We had one of those at work, the same make and design, not sure it was the same model. It serviced a team of 12 so I think it'll do you well. How do you have space for something that size though? Its a monster!
The funny thing is - I DON'T have the space for it. I live in a tiny flat which is getting smaller and smaller due to my refusal to throw anything out that still works.
I've got four of the old fashioned type computer monitors sitting on top of a cupboard as well as four of the more modern flat screen ones (and only three are being used). I've even got a portable black and white tv - can you even buy b/w tv's any more? A set of Encyclopaedia Britannica from 1988. What use are these when you have the internet?

I've got a similar size set of books, Cassells History of England from 1906. Its brilliant to read that and see things pre political correctness and also note the number of things that have been written out of history.
They try it with the internet but its more difficult to unwrite the written word.
If your wondering what I mean about unwriting history keep doing searches on the war in Bosnia and see how day by day its slowly disappearing... Give it twenty years and it will never have happened!
Right, thats me marked for a knock on the door at 4 in the morning (maybe wasn't such a good idea to read Solzhenitsyns Gulag Archipeligo).

It has arrived and "monster" is an understatement. It took my two brothers and nephew to lift it up the stairs to my tiny flat. In fact, it is no longer a flat. It is now an office with a bed in it. I looked at the measurements in the document online. I wasn't counting on an extra couple of paper trays added to the bottom. It's nearly four foot tall.
